Dont want to be rude but most EV cars are very expensive compared to old clasic with cumbustion engine.
Thus anyone who can afford EV car can also easily afford this 200 dollar bill.

It is a typical budget issue, but even if it seems logical in terms of infrastructure maintenance, it does not really make a sense in making transportation more "green" or actually trying to solve real issues regarding the abysmal state of infrastructure as a whole.
US road infrastructure is one of the worst I have even seen in terms of efficiency or cost of maintenance.

I live in Tx ... Tho it might seem high it aint and i support it. Our grid is in bad shape and it will just become worse as more and more evs start to use it here .

Eh. It's their (Texas) problem. not the EV.

Don't point the finger at the EV, it did nothing wrong. In fact it would make more sense to tax conventional cars for polluting the air! This is the right logic to see this situation, any other logic is just absurd.
